PRP For Hair Loss, some considerations

Stress is a huge factor that effects hair loss Dramatic change in weight (generally fast weight loss). Your diet – You are what you eat, so eat the correct things (no junk food) read our PREPARING FOR PRP page for more info about food and supplements that we recommend. Many men especially have the hair loss gene inherited from their parents, as soon as they hit a certain age, then the hair loss becomes dramatic. To stabilise this you need to commence intense back to back PRP treatments to bring vital nutrients to the effected Hair follicles that are dying.

Another major contributor is a chemical called DHT which effects the hair on the top of the head, this chemical is increased by higher levels of Testosterone especially in men. The hair follicles on the sides and back of the head are generally not effected by DHT hence why most baldness is to the top part of the head not the back and sides. Again by conducting PRP treatments this combats the effects of DHT by reversing the damaged hair follicles to become healthy.

PRP What are the options?

Topical therapy and supplements offer help for thinning hair and hair loss such as what other hair treatment clinics offer. However new developments show the effectiveness of PRP therapy combined with early detection and regular treatments help minimize the problems of hair thinning and hair loss by sending nutrients to the dying hair follicle. This begins rejuvenating the thinning follicles eventually controlling the hair loss issue and maximising the thickness of the existing hair follicles. PRP hair treatments does not replace Hair implants, PRP treatments go hand in hand with hair implant surgery. Visualise a plant growing in a pot or some garden, to relocate this plant to another location you will need to make sure that the soil and plant in the new location has enough nutrients for it to bond and grow again otherwise it will simply die. Hence during the hair implant the surgeon actually conducts a PRP scalp treatment for the patient and then explains to them that regular PRP treatments are recommended for best long lasting results. Another key point that you need to understand is that we have less hair on the sides & back of our heads than what we had on top. When a person is a teenager they have around 100,000 hairs on their head, approx. 70,000 on top region and approx. 30,000 on sides and back. Now you will understand why it is so important to maintain the hair on top of your head, if you lose all 70,000 hairs on your head then you cannot replace the lost 70,000 with only up to a maximum of 10,000-12,000 which simply does not cover the area on top. This is the reason why Revive Clinics PRP treatments is the wise choice, you are limited with the hair supply on the sides and back of your head hence you need to make sure you look after the existing hair you have on top of your head.

Should I conduct a hair transplant before I commence the PRP treatment?

control you existing hair loss

Why I am loosing hair?

Hereditary hair loss & genetic hair loss is also known for its medical name as Androgenetic Alopecia.This hair loss is the most common form of hair loss that affects both men & women that is inherited genetically from your parents. This hair loss gene has a timer that triggers causing hair follicles to become weak when they come in contact with a hormone known as DHT.

DHT mostly affects the crown, mid and frontal hair line of your scalp hence why in most cases the sides and back of your hair is strong and un-affected. There are many other hair loss reasons other than the main one above such as extreme stress, your diet, your age and gender and other sicknesses.

Is DHT – Di Hydro Testosterone the cause of my hair loss?

DHT is not the sole cause of your hair loss as on its own it doesn’t cause hair loss.Combined with your inherited hair loss gene when it comes in contact with DHT it causes the hair follicles to weaken and slowly die. Obvoulsy hair loss does not happen overnight, but the signs begin early on when you start seeing the hair follicle becoming thinner, weaker, finer, flatter and then it eventually dies and you are left with a bald spot.

Unlike a skin cut or other injuries the body does not recognise that our hair follicles are being injured because the process occurs at a slow pace, hence it goes on undedicated.

For Revive Clinics face & skin PRP treatments the Platelet Rich Plasma rejuvenates the collagen promoting a youthful appearance, and is able to perform a range of benefits to the patients from fading of scars to reducing pigmentation for smoother toned skin.

This is a natural treatment with no drugs or chemicals, as we are using your own blood for the treatment, PRP begins by utilising your own natural Platelets that tell your body cells to create new collagen, call it a kick start for youthfulness. The end result is a healthier appearance, with tightened skin, lift, improved tone and thicker dermis- reducing wrinkles and scars to your skin.

Please be aware that each patient may react differently to the treatments and each patient’s results may vary. If you are concerned about any procedure we recommend that you see your health care professional before under going any treatment.
